If this is real and not just staged, i really like the implication that people receptive to this kind of messaging have been gaslit by troll campaigns into holding views that run counter to their own interest.
I think anyone paying attention already suspected as much, but with many of those troll farms now switching to ChatGPT, again, if this is real, it highlights how we now can get undeniable proof of this farming happening.

Poison would’ve been way too subtle for Homelander. But I was expecting him decorating the cake with some caretaker-guts.

I like that they still nail having Homelander go from pathetic in one episode, to absolutely terrifying in another. Also, what was the ending about with Hughie’s dad? He clearly got a Compound V shot, but who gave it to him? Also, if his dad doesn’t take well to being suped up, it’d be brutal if Hughie had to devise a plan to kill his own dad.

How dare you! … use sarcasm without the /s, people are getting confused!

Starship is in testing. Where other space companies spend years to decades testing their designs in simulations, wind- and plasma tunnels with gigantic costs (Blue Origin is developing New Glenn since at least 2013), SpaceX is building test articles and just fly them. Those test articles are not the final version of the rocket and they are not meant to complete an entire flight flawlessly. They are akin to alpha builds in software development, designed to test features, not to be a finished product.

I see what you did there, you sly dog.

And, of course, if you want your children to have a peak male physique.

Looking forward to the full release. I still have the game installed and backed up, so Ubisoft doesn’t get any ideas and forcibly uninstalls it.

Nooo, war with China would be horrible. The chip supply would completely collapse, and then what device will you use to visit NCD?

In Germany, conservative and liberal parties want to end the previously decided-upon law that bans the sale of new petrol cars past 2035, in a bid to garner more votes from stupid people. They either don’t realize or don’t care that this will hurt German car manufacturers, like Porsche, who have invested into EVs in anticipation of this ban, who will now feel pressure to shift back to petrol cars, even though it is clearly evident that the future lies with EVs.

The step mom wanted to fuck that bear.

Tech-savvy people tend to trend left. And with the reddit exodus, only those that cared about API access and privacy left.

Germany sent 4, while having had a total of 12. The US can do more, if it wants to.

“Let me nut some plastic into you, baby!”

Germany has the Wahl-o-mat, a website that does a good job of giving people a quick overview over the parties anx their positions. Is there something similar for other countries as well?

It was never a question if those strikes would pay off. The only “roadblock” was always Western politicians being too scared of pictures showing western components in remnants of weapons used on russian soil, fearing Putin would “escalate” somehow. However the last 3 years have shown that Putin can’t escalate any further, if he doesn’t want to provoke a NATO response.

The statement is factual in some instances, we saw that with Brexit. After kicking out all the Poles, noone in the UK wanted to do the harvesting. Undoubtedly often because it didn’t pay enough, but even farmers that were offering good pay rates were struggling. Turns out, most people don’t want to do a seasonal job that would require them to either drive a whole lot to get to all the fields, or stay in temporary accomodations close to the fields for a prolonged time. People from areas with a lower median income were much more incentivized to do those kinds of work.

Getting inspired by Iran’s support for the Houthis I see.

That is the power of an echo chamber. My favorite post by a hex was when he tried to convince me that the Tiananmen Square massare was fake. He had a comprehensive list of over 20 links prepared, with bangers like “Actually, the massacre wasn’t happening on Tiananmen Square, but next to it. Checkmate globalists”. I’d love to link it here, but shame on @goat for deleting that post and sending them to the Tankie corner, because now I can’t find it anymore, not even in the mod log.
